Looking to visit the South Pacific? Discover Tahiti and surrounding French Polynesia aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, a ship designed specifically to navigate the shallow seas. The ship's small footprint enables it to navigate lagoons closed to larger ships, and its retractable on board water sports marina brings you down to sea level. From here, guests can try their hand at a wide variety of activities, from windsurfing or kayaking to water-skiing. The more adventurous may wish to embark on the Zodiac for optional diving excursions.

Travelers accustomed to luxury accommodations will delight in spacious suites and staterooms, an on-board water-sports marina, a choice of three open-seating dining venues, and an extensive spa replete with the latest pampering treatments. In addition to the ship’s many amenities and truly elegant atmosphere, you will enjoy the troupe of Gauguines — a local Tahitian group who comprise the ship’s cruise staff, entertainers and storytellers. Cruisers always marvel at how these people add the unmistakable taste of Tahiti to every cruise, making the experience one to cherish always.

Travelers on cruise ships come to expect personal service as a matter of course, and that offered aboard the Paul Gauguin is exemplary. With a ratio of one crew member for every 1.5 guests, travelers can be assured of the highest level of personal attention.
